AP Business SummaryBrief at 6:41 p.m. ESTNEW YORK (AP) — No ex-president had a more prolific and diverse publishing career than Jimmy Carter . His more than two dozen books included nonfiction, poetry, fiction, religious meditations and a children’s story. His memoir “An Hour Before Daylight” was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2002, while his 2006 best-seller “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” stirred a fierce debate by likening Israel’s policies in the West Bank to the brutal South African system of racial segregation. And just before his 100th birthday, the Dayton Literary Peace Prize Foundation honored him with a lifetime achievement award for how he wielded “the power of the written word to foster peace, social justice, and global understanding.” In one recent work, “A Full Life,” Carter observed that he “enjoyed writing” and that his books “provided a much-needed source of income.” But some projects were easier than others. “Everything to Gain,” a 1987 collaboration with his wife, Rosalynn, turned into the “worst threat we ever experienced in our marriage,” an intractable standoff for the facilitator of the Camp David accords and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. RELATED COVERAGE Jimmy Carter: Many evolutions for a centenarian ‘citizen of the world’ The Latest: Former President Jimmy Carter is dead at age 100 Notable quotes by Jimmy Carter According to Carter, Rosalynn was a meticulous author who considered “the resulting sentences as though they have come down from Mount Sinai, carved into stone.” Their memories differed on various events and they fell into “constant arguments.” They were ready to abandon the book and return the advance, until their editor persuaded them to simply divide any disputed passages between them. “In the book, each of these paragraphs is identified by a ‘J’ or an ‘R,’ and our marriage survived,” he wrote. Here is a partial list of books by Carter: “Keeping Faith: Memoirs of a President” “The Blood of Abraham: Insights into the Middle East” (With Rosalynn Carter) “Everything to Gain: Making the Most of the Rest of Your Life” “An Outdoor Journal: Adventures and Reflections” “Turning Point: A Candidate, a State, and a Nation Come of Age” “Always a Reckoning, and Other Poems” (With daughter Amy Carter) “The Little Baby Snoogle-Fleejer” “Living Faith” “The Virtues of Aging” “An Hour Before Daylight: Memories of a Rural Boyhood” “Christmas in Plains: Memories” “The Hornet’s Nest: A Novel of the Revolutionary War” “Our Endangered Values: America’s Moral Crisis” “Faith & Freedom: The Christian Challenge for the World” “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” “A Remarkable Mother” “Beyond the White House” “We Can Have Peace in the Holy Land: A Plan That Will Work” “White House Diary” “NIV Lessons from Life Bible: Personal Reflections with Jimmy Carter” “A Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power” “A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety”
ASHBURN, Va.— Former Atlanta Falcons coach Dan Quinn has the Washington Commanders rolling. The Falcons (8-7) are set to face the Commanders (10-5), one of the hotter teams in the NFL, at 8:20 p.m. ET Sunday at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Md., with NFC playoff implications on the line. The Commanders, who are led by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, are coming off a 36-33 victory Sunday over the Eagles, which snapped their 10-game win streak. The Commanders still are in the hunt for the NFC East title, two games behind the Eagles (12-3) with two games to play. The Falcons are tied for the lead with the Bucs (8-7) in the NFC South. The Falcons hold the tiebreaker over the Bucs with two head-to-head wins. The Falcons need to beat Washington and then the Panthers in the regular-season finale to make it back to the playoffs for the first time since the 2017 season. Quinn, who was the Falcons coach from 2015-20, is one of two coaches to take the franchise to the Super Bowl. After he was fired five games into the 2020 season, Quinn was hired as Dallas’ defensive coordinator the next year. Quinn took over in Washington this season and is benefiting from the spectacular play of rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, a former Arizona State and LSU standout who was taken with the second overall pick in the NFL draft. “It’s been awesome,” Commanders backup quarterback Marcus Mariota, a former Falcon, said to The Atlanta Journal Constitution recently about playing for Quinn. “He is, honestly one of my favorites that I’ve ever played for. The energy and the culture he builds here is just very fun to be a part of. I’m really enjoying myself.” Daniels has completed 301 of 432 passes (69.7%) for 3,303 yards, 22 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He has a passer rating of 101.3. A crafty runner, Daniels also has rushed 128 times for 737 yards and six touchdowns. He’s a near lock for the Associated Press rookie-of-the-year award. “He’s done a great job,” Mariota said. “He’s deserves a lot of credit for how he’s come in. His demeanor and the way he works. I think that there are no surprises as to why he’s good.” Former Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus caught five passes for 70 yards and two touchdowns Sunday. He also is a big supporter of Daniels. “It’s been great,” Zaccheaus told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “I think he’s handled a lot of things very, very well. ... It’s been cool to see. It’s great to play alongside of him. He’s just going to continue to grow as he gets more games under his belt.” Cornerback Marshon Lattimore, who was acquired in a trade with the Saints in early November, played in his second game for the Commanders in the win Sunday. He covered A.J. Brown and was called for three defensive pass-interference penalties. Quinn was fine with how Lattimore competed. “He has a real edge about him, a strength about him, and he really fits in well to how we want to play,” Quinn told Washington media members Monday. “So, I was pretty pumped to see him.” Lattimore likely will cover Falcons wide receiver Drake London, who’s 22 yards from his first 1,000-yard receiving season. Quinn has won over his locker room. “I’m grateful for DQ reaching out to me and bringing me in,” Zaccheaus said. “I know what he wants things to look like. I’m helping him build a culture here. We want to win. We are just building that culture day in and day out. I know what that should look like. I know what he wants it to look like. So, I’m just helping him do that.” Falcons coach Raheem Morris was on Quinn’s staff with the Falcons and took over as the interim head coach in 2020. He then went to the Rams and helped them win a Super Bowl as their defensive coordinator. He was hired in January to replace Arthur Smith. Morris and Quinn, while with the Rams and Cowboys, have faced each other before. “We played the Cowboys, I want to say twice,” Morris said. “It could be just once, but for sure once. They kicked our butts a bit last year.” The Cowboys won 43-20 on Oct. 29, 2023 at home. Both made their return to the head-coaching ranks this season from previous head coaching jobs. “Man, it’s always fun to play against your friends, your confidants, your mentors — whatever you want to look at it as — that we’ve been able to grow up with throughout this whole process,” Morris said. “You know, Dan coaching me in college (at Hofstra) and then having a chance to work together, then having a chance to really follow the same path to the National Football League.” ©2024 The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

City blew a three-goal lead to draw with Feyenoord in the Champions League. Manchester City defender Nathan Ake said his side must “show character” if they are to end their winless streak after Feyenoord scored three times in the final 15 minutes to claim a 3-3 draw in the Champions League at the Etihad Stadium. City are now six games without a victory but appeared to be cruising towards three points before being stunned by the Eredivisie side, who hit them with goals from Anis Hadj Moussa, Santiago Gimenez and David Hancko to fight back from 3-0 down. Two goals from Erling Haaland, one of them a penalty, and one from Ilkay Gundogan had the 2023 European champions three up after 53 minutes as they sought the win that would help to get their ailing season back on track. After the team collapsed in the closing stages, Ake called on his team-mates to show their mettle if their campaign is not to wither away. Speaking to Amazon Prime, he was asked whether he believed the the team’s problem is a mental one. “Maybe it is,” he said. “It is difficult to say. Obviously we have not been in this situation many times but this is where we have to show our character. “When everything seems to go against us and everyone is writing us off, we have to stay strong mentally, believe in ourselves and stick together. “Every season there is a period when they write us off. We have to make sure we stay strong as a team and staff and make sure we get out of it.” The draw leaves City with work to do if they are to secure one of the eight automatic spots in the last 16 of this season’s Champions League. They are currently 15th in the table, two points outside of the top eight, and will need positive results in their next two games against Juventus and Paris St Germain to keep their hopes alive. They then face Club Brugge in their final league match on January 29. The result at least ended a run of five straight defeats in all competitions ahead of Sunday’s Premier League showdown with leaders Liverpool at Anfield. “When you are three goals up it feels like a defeat when you give up three goals at home,” said Ake. “It is tough now, a tough night, but the only thing we can do is look forward to the next one. Liverpool is a big game and it is another challenge to overcome. “(We were) 3-0 up and we played quite well and were under control, but then it all changed. “You just have to stay strong mentally. At 3-1 they then push on but I think we need to go for it a bit earlier so we could keep the pressure on them, but we stayed playing at the back and maybe invited more pressure on us. “Then when you concede the second one there is even more pressure and then we have to stay stronger mentally.”Top 12 unchanged, South Carolina still consensus No. 1

The Ethereum network is going through rapid growth. This growth is resulting in it being bombarded by scalability issues , besides security and user experience challenges. In an attempt to solve the above-mentioned problems and enhance performance, Ethereum 3.0 was introduced by Vitalik Buterin . It promises a 'transformational upgrade' for the network. The completion target for the new upgrade is set in 2026. Ethereum 3.0 will take advantage of the success of the previous version, Ethereum 2.0 while filling the gaps that exist in the present system. It will be released in phases aimed at enhancing Ethereum's scalability, decentralization , and security. Let's explore the main phases that will define Ethereum 3.0 in detail. Sharding will be one of the major features of Ethereum 3.0, which will accelerate scalability. Sharding means splitting the Ethereum blockchain into smaller chains known as ‘shards.’ This will allow Ethereum to process more transactions parallelly and greatly increase its throughput. Ethereum 3.0 aims to increase transactions per second, with a possible figure reaching above 100,000 when combining both the Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks. The new enhancement will solve the network’s existing problems of high gas fees and network congestion during peak period usage. The Scourge phase will solve the problems associated with Maximal Extractable Value (MEV). MEV stands for the miners' ability to reorder transactions within a block to extract maximal value, often from network users. It has been the source of centralisation and unfair prioritisation of transactions under the Ethereum network. The proposed concept of proposer-builder separation, or PBS in Ethereum 3.0, aims at providing the much-needed separation of transactions from their proposers and the ones building the blocks. Thus, making transaction processing more fair by removing miner manipulation risks and further increasing the decentralisation of Ethereum. In the Verge phase, Ethereum 3.0 will mainly focus on reducing the resources required to run nodes. This will make it easier for people to interact with the network as validators. The innovation on stateless verification is also crucial in this phase. It will make it possible for Ethereum to operate with significantly reduced storage requirements through the introduction of Merkle Trees. This change will allow nodes to operate on lower-power devices, including smartphones, making the Ethereum network more accessible. Hence, enabling a more diverse constituency of holders to participate in its consensus mechanism. This phase will also look at streamlining the protocol of Ethereum through the removal of redundant data and is basically going to reduce data bloat. Ethereum has accumulated much data over time, which tends to make it inefficient and slow down the network. Purging the data will make Ethereum more efficient by making the network lighter and faster. This phase will ensure that Ethereum will be efficient, even as its user base and transaction volumes continue to grow. The last phase is the Splurge, which would be an improvement of UX and security. This would prepare the whole Ethereum ecosystem against cyber and phishing attacks . Ethereum will work on EVM to make it strong, safe, and ready for developers and users to work with. These upgrades will also make sure that Ethereum remains adapted to the ever-changing nature of blockchain technology in the world. The community has welcomed Ethereum 3.0 with open arms, with Ethereum researcher Justin Drake teasing ambitious plans for the upgrade. At events such as Devcon, full details for these plans will be unveiled, further fostering excitement about the project. One significant development is sharding, which has picked up momentum due to advancements in zero-knowledge technology. However, there are still skeptics in the Ethereum camp who cannot be swayed by such highly ambitious propositions. The critics have cited that at the current extensive scale of size, changes take a long time to be developed. They point out that most of Ethereum's upgrades have taken considerable periods of time to be done. Similar proposals usually need formal Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) before they move on, thus, taking longer for the upgrades to become applicable. Despite a lot of competition from other blockchain networks like Solana and BNB Chain, Ethereum keeps leading in terms of on-chain activity and usage of decentralized applications. Success will no longer depend solely on Ethereum upgrades but rather on the future trajectory of the larger blockchain ecosystem. When upgraded successfully, Ethereum 3.0 will optimise and make the network simpler, which will reinforce its status as the leading platform for dApps. Ethereum 3.0 is morphing to be one of the biggest upgrades in blockchain history, promising improvement in scalability, decentralization, and security. There's still a lot to be seen regarding the upgrade’s future. However, the Ethereum community provided a very solid foundation for the success of Ethereum 3.0.
